We take the pains to tell you about the production of that world famed play, “Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” at the opera house, tomorrow evening. It will be a treat, because it will be rendered by a capable company of actors. We mention a few: Mr. W. L. Swift, as “Gumption Cute;” Mr. John Hartwell, as “Uncle Tom,” both formerly of Kuscoe & Swift's “LTicle Tom” Co.; Mr. Edwin Southers, as “Topsy;” Mr. Alphonso Phillips, as “Geo. Harris;” Mr. Frank Maloy, as “Marks;” Mr. Fred Phillips as “Simon LeGree;” Mr. Chas. Blue, as “Geo. Shelby,” and Miss True George, as “Little Eva.” The remainder of the caste is equally as good in every particular. We would not do the company justice if we should fail to mention the two trained thoroughbred Siberian blood hounds, “Nina” and “Skates,” which have had two years experience with some of the best “Uncle Tom” companies that have been on the road. Il will be a great show and you want to see it. You can get reserved seats at Long’s drug store. The first and second nines from Monticello came up to Rensselaer last Friday and played our first and second base ball nines. The game between the second nines resulted in favor of Monticello by a score of 23 to 15 and was a very interesting game. It seemed as if the game between the first - nines was strictly for “blood,” for both clubs seemed scared of their own material and ordered several insallments of foreign talent and the result was very disasterous for Monticello. It was, by far, the best game played here this year. The score was as follows: 12345 6 7 8 !> Rensselaer 5 1 0 3 1 0 4 0 *—l4 Monticello 0 2 1 0 0 0 0 0 0— 3 George Dunn, of Dunville, has been spending a few days here among his old school fellows and friends. George is one of our Rensselaer high school graduates.

John Paxton is looking for the scamp that stole his bicycle a few nights ago. Mr. Paxton had it in his woodshed and it looks as if the thief knew about it and made off with it.
